Chester Comix can teach history to reluctant readers! The full-color comic Revolutionary Rumblings traces the political and economic arguments leading up to the American Revolution: the French and Indian War, the Boston Tea Party, the Committees of Correspondence, the Continental Congress and Battle of Lexington and Concord. Jokes and action carry today's students through these hard nonfiction concepts. A timeline across the top of every page helps them place events and people in context. The title on each page is a question, which makes for a good writing prompt. And the comix is indexed, making it a good research tool.

About the Author
Bentley Boyd's comix come from both sides of his brain: He graduated from Harvard University cum laude with a degree in History and Literature and has been a professional cartoonist for 15 years. He is a passionate advocate for the use of the graphic novel format to teach nonfiction to today's visual learners. Boyd lives in Williamsburg, Virginia, and draws from all the historical resources within a day's drive of that magnificent Colonial capital.

Chester is awesome,
By Mrs. B "VA History Teacher" (Yorktown, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Revolutionary rumblings (Chester the Crab's comics with content series) (Chester Comix) (Paperback)
I have used Chester successfully in my 4th grade classroom for years, and he never fails to capture the attention of my students, even my reluctant ones! I highly recommend Chester and all his adventures to history lovers of all ages. Boyd has an uncanny ability to uniquely illustrate historical issues using Chester and his friends which is fun and entertaining to read.
